As a skilled business and real estate lawyer, Paul M. Stoddard has extensive experience helping individuals and business owners navigate the real estate partition process in California. Whether you have joint ownership of residential or commercial real property, Mr. Stoddard can protect your interests and help resolve the property dispute.

A partition action is a legal process for dividing real estate, personal property, or other assets that are jointly owned. When multiple parties own property together, each may have different ideas about what should be done with it. A partition action allows the court to decide how the property should be divided, whether through sale or other means. Previously applicable only to inherited properties under the Uniform Partition Heirs Property Act, real estate partition actions have been broadened under the Partition of Real Property Act (2022). A partition can now be used in a wide range of circumstances as an equitable way to divide assets.
